Its been a month since I wrote my last post. I have missed out on so many wonderful recipes from my blogger buddies. Cant wait to see all beautiful posts I missed.

Today I am back with a recipe which tastes best when it is hot and spicy! If you go to any place in Maharashtra especially Pune or Kolhapur don't miss out eating this tasty dish called 'Misal Pav'. Meaning of word 'Misal' is Mixture. This recipe gets its wonderful flavors by mixing different delicious things. Main part of this mixture is Sabji/Usal made from sprouted Matki/Moth beans. To give a nice spicy kick, we add something called as Tarri/Kat which is actually thin gravy. To top it off we also add mixture/farsan/chivda, curd ,finely chopped onion,coriander.

I would also like to thank my dear blogger buddy Swapna(http://swapnasridhar.blogspot.com//) who has shared this 'Honest Scrap' award with me. Thanks alot dearie for this sweet gesture.

We need sprouted Matki/Moth beans for Misal. So soak Matki/Moth beans in water for 7-8 hours. Afterwards drain the water and put beans in cotton cloth. Tie the cloth and leave it for another 7-8 hours for sprouting. If you do not have any cotton cloth you can just keep moth beans covered. This will take little extra time for sprouting.
